I thought they were V2 mate?
Nope, the K is different from full size MP5s, in that it uses a V3 gearbox, but with a long type motor.
For a disassembly and detailed view inside you can check it out here:

I think someone must have had a word with him, or his drugs have worn off, as it's no longer on the discord. 😂

Oh wait, it comes with a spare ambidextrous mag release.
That explains the price!

I will get some pics from inside tomorrow working nights.
Reference the prescription lenes, yes you can I was able to give them my prescription and the are also getting perception lens made told they will arrive in another 30 days.
So wont be using them till then though i have tried them on and the are comfortable.
Are they actual lenses made to a prescription, or an insert?

So my glasses have finally arrived they are very quite you can hardly hear the fans and i think once playing you wont notice them at all.
Any chance of some pictures from the inside, please?
Do you think there's any scope for prescription inserts in these?

Picked up a Steyr scout second-hand yesterday.
Used to have one, sold it as I had too many bolt actions.
Sold most of those, missed the scout and saw this at a good price.
Was very dirty inside, missing a screw on the trigger unit, but after a disassemble and cleaning is now running smoothly and putting out 2.2J on a 0.45.
Just need to test it out now!

I'm going to take a guess and say that you might have got an adapter wired up for RC cars, which will be reversed.
I've had them myself, but caught it beforehand luckily, and seen plenty of people caught out by this.
IIRC, the larger sized contact on the deans should go to the round contact on the mini Tamiya.
Can you post a photo to confirm?
Also, put the affected batteries outside somewhere safe!
I believe the correct protocol is to cut off the contacts (one wire at a time) and then put it in a bucket of saltwater, but others can confirm.

A cheeky request: do you have any working VZ58 gearboxes lying around that you'd be willing to part ways with? I don't mind if it doesn't have a mosfet since I only plan on running 7.4v anyways.
Message me tomorrow with what you need and I'll see what I have.

I mean, every Ares out of the box needs, as a bare minimum to keep the gun going for *at least* 6 months:
New bushings,
New piston body,
New o-rings,
New nozzle,
New tappet plate,
New hop rubber.
That's out of the box, no matter what gun or gearbox version it is.
Once you do these things you still have a gun with proprietary parts that can't really be modified without spending way too much.
Back on topic, I did ask Ares about something a while ago and it took ages for them to respond, but at that point I had already sold the gun.
Not wanting to jinx myself, I've been lucky enough with my VZ58s to get away with just a bucking and barrel change for most of the 7+ years I've had them.
The ETU is where I've had issues unfortunately!
3 hours ago, Skara said:Is there that much dimensional difference? Or can one bodge a regular v3 with a dremel, a file and a drill?
I think it would be beyond that unfortunately.
IIRC, the cylinder head and nozzle sit much lower than they do on normal gearboxes, and the motor attachment is more akin to a V2, where you screw the grip directly into the gearbox shell, rather than having a motor cage.
I'll try to dig out one of my spare gearboxes and get some photos.

Unfortunately it's its own style of gearbox, so a V3 wouldn't fit.
I've had the same issue in the past myself tbh and I had to message Ares directly, so that's probably your best bet; they were fairly prompt with sending out a replacement, but that was a few years ago now.
I could use a couple of the mosfets myself really, so let me know how you get on if you do!

Maybe If the system works out Someone can make a WA2000 version or kit for it! 🤞

Latest acquisition for Christmas.
Saw it and found the concept interesting, but won't be able to test it until the new year.
Don't know if I should have gone for the slightly longer version, as the short one seems to be lower powered than advertised; around 1.6J Vs the stated 1.9J, but I'll try it and see!
*Edit: just tried it again with heavier ammo and an Action army VSR mag and it's now up to around 1.9 to 2J, so more than adequate.
I don't know if it's just joule creep, the AA mag seating in better, or the thing's just warming up now but it seems to have improved.
Can't wait to try it out, the thing is just so ridiculously light though!

There's no selector parts with it at all, not even a selector plate unfortunately!
It's seeming like the best bet would just be to bin it off and sell it for parts at this point!

I recently bought a boneyard Double Eagle UTR.45 off a sales discord.
It was advertised as not lifting BBs, and being full-auto only.
A simple enough fix, I assumed; worst case scenario, with the Falcon control system I can hopefully just set it to fire one shot on all the settings and use it like that. (I rarely use auto, so it's no big deal if I have to)
Alas, on receiving it that's when the issues began.
It wasn't packaged brilliantly (I've seen worse, but it's still fairly loose inside the box, And I'd be embarrassed to have done this, personally).
There was no fire selector of any type, not even loose in the box, which gave me my first uh-oh, as setting the FCS requires using a fire selector.
Then, on taking it apart, it has a jefftron MOSFET installed, which I'm assuming is *not* standard.
From what I've seen, the stock one has double eagle written all over it and looks different.
I've never opened one of the new FCS double eagles, so have I basically been sold a problem child without being told?
My guess is that the previous owner watch some 'top-tier' YouTube review and thought that replacing the perfectly usable FCS with something that is cool and shiny looking according to "Big Baz the internet tech" was completely necessary before realising they don't know what they're doing, losing several important components and just selling it off cheap to some mug (aka me! 😅)

Unfortunately, there’s not really anywhere in Newcastle to buy airsoft guns. There’s a couple of army surplus stores, Kommand Outdoors sells some guns I believe, but nothing of any note. I think they may be cheap air guns or something like that. I may be wrong. Ive only been in once and that was a few years ago. Bagnall and Kirkwood are an outdoors store with a decent selection of 4.5mm bb guns and air guns, but unfortunately no 6mm airsoft. There’s a definite lack of airsoft shops in the North East in general, not just Newcastle. Landwarrior is possibly the closest, and to be fair, they’re not really that close.
You have justairsoft and BZ tactical down the A1 and A19 respectively, but they're still a good 40 minutes or so away.

Nothing that I know of really, which is strange considering the size of it.

I've had a few ASG/STTI MK23s and also a few Marui ones over the years and tbh by now I'd never buy a clone again, as they always end up just not being worth it.
The clones triggers are just rubbish, the feed lips on the clone mags end up either broken, misfeeding or both, and when they do work they never seem to be as efficient or as powerful as when I use TM mags, whether it's in a marui or clone MK23.

Had this in bits due to a dead trigger board for a couple of years, and finally got around to sorting it out.
Acquired a new stock tube and upper receiver rail to complete it, and now have it finished!
Swapped out the gearbox from my full length version which is currently being built up as a DMR to put in this one, along with a PDI 6.05 barrel and 50º Archwick bucking, I'll be looking forward to trying it out!
Brings the total of working VZ58s I have to 4 now.
